Comment:

 @jsha pointed out that this is expected, unless we want to be storing a
 separate history from the native browser history over restarts, which is a
 non-starter.

 One thing we may want to consider in the future is a observatory-
 cultivated bloom filter of the top 100k or so sites, which we can deliver
 to clients so that they can determine weather to send the cert to the
 observatory or not.  Right now we deliver a list of fingerprints for the
 top 1k https sites.  If we experience debilitating load on the server side
 at some point in the future, we may want to increase the number of
 fingerprints without delivering a large file to the client.  Right now
 it's a non-issue, and would take some developer time, so not worth it
 currently.

 Closing issue.
